Lieutenant Myers called for assistance against an invading Rheinland fleet in Texas. Myself in the Quantico, and Bo in his bomber joined her, along with a collection of navy flyboys. Over all, we won with myself and a navy gunboat all that remained of the capital class vessels.
Capital Losses: 2 Battleships on each side, a Cruiser on our side, several cruisers on the Rheinlanders, and about 3 gunboats on each side.
At least 1 Rheinland fighter escaped, however almost all others were destroyed, Liberty still having about 7 fighter class ships, including all the LPI. A successful repusion.
Evidence: Error 21430: Guncam damaged, footage not avaliable.

Report:
As this was my first ever patrol. (Except for the ride along one earlier that day) I was none the less, slightly nervous to do my job, and to do it right. I decided i was going to make my patrol to Denver and then back. This was perfectly, an eerie silence while in Colorado. On returning to Baltimore. I noticed a very odd sight. A Tridente Gunboat with a Council IFF. I thought this was odd. So i hastily made pursuit. As i hit the Tradelane i noticed LNS-Los.Angleles was shouting Coward over the comms. I, at the time thought that this had nothing to do with Lamar_(LAMARAMA) to whom i was following. As i entered the tradelane to Houston, i was dropped out (by a few pesky rogues, who i quickly dispatched). As i came to the planet, i saw no sign of him, i initially thought he had gone to Hudson so i went on to the Hudson jumpgate, when i saw no signs i returned. And to my surprise there he was, with LNS-Los.Angeles. And i managed to get a gun cam shot before he landed. Sadly due to my inexperience i was unable to issue an order. I therein saw he has only broken the law of having outlawed ship with a mixed ID and IFF (to which LNS-Los.Angeles filled me about).
Within a matter of minutes, a Merc showed up. Omar_(LAMARAMA). In a Liberty Bomber. With a Rhienland Military IFF. Spear invited me and Los.Angeles into a private group chat, to discuss this odd occurrence and deal with him. We asked him where he got it from. No reply. We asked again. No reply. We warned him. No reply. We opened fire. He had not time to reply.
At which point he undocked from Planet Houston and start firing. We immediately told him to leave the system. No reply. We destroyed him. This went on about 3 times. We had one word from him. "No". We were bored of him and started thinking what we could do. At which point he opened fire on me and within moments I was in my escape pod. I returned to the location, to which point i had found he had been destroyed twice more, still wouldn't leave. I then noticed that both Lamar and Omar and similar names, and came to the conclusion that they are the same pilot different aliases. I received a message on 5KYP-3 and was not paying attention and was destroyed again. (A recruits mistake). After a while he decided to leave. And after that ordeal i decided to end my patrol there. I managed to get gun cam evidence, and i knew as i settled down at my desk i had had a very interesting first patrol.
I only had time for a short patrol though the Pennsylvania system today, but what a patrol it was. First flew from Philadelphia station Planet Erie, where i sat for few, watching those who entered my scan range. After a few minutes i noticed a ship, Callsign "Mad_Max", Flying with an outcast IFF. I Gave chase and soon was close enough to see he flew a tridente Gunboat. Seeing myself as overmatched, i retreated before i became engaged in battle. I returned to Erie and very soon caught a glimpse of another hostile vessel. It was just a blip and if i hadn't of been looking at my scanner console, i would of missed it. It was a hacker, Callsign "Alienz", Flying their Pirate VHF, which i have battled before. I made a guess as to there trajectory, and was soon on there trail. Seeing me following them, The pirate turned and without a word, opened fire. We battled for about 10-20 minutes, with the hacker attempting to flee several times, as they had in our first encounter. This time however, i did not allow it. I disrupted their cruise engines every time they fired them up, and eventually destroyed the target. The Gumcam evidence of the ships destruction is attached.
Well sir, i found i had a little time left at the end of my shift so i hopped in my ship and did a little patrol. I left Planet Erie and was soon confronted by a person bad mouthing the Liberty Police and by his own admission; destroying liberty vessels. After i circled the whole system searching for him, i found him at the trade lane to the New York jump gate. As i approached he continued his tirade against the police. Seeing as the person, callsign Marcus_Fenix, was in a Tridente and flying an Outcast IFF, i thought it best to hang back. i put out a call for back up with no response. i continued to observe his slaughtering of our officers; until he grew annoyed with my presence. Very soon after that a fire fight ensued. And by Firefight, I mean he shot at me and i dodged as best i could. Well apparently i can dodge fire well, because after 10 minutes or so, he grew bored with not being able to hit me, and left! Not the greatest or grandest of victorys.. but ill take it. After this i hooked up with a LCBO agent, a Dan Reynolds, And a Navy Pilot, Cpt_Bob. We went to New York and first removed a rogue from around the Manhattan/West Point lane. LCBO Dan Reynolds was having some trouble of some sort and went to Manhattan to get it checked out. Soon after we finished with the rogue, I received a transmission from the LNS Wolfcrest stating that an Outcast Tridente and A Hacker bomber were at west point. We headed that direction, but By then the Tridente had moved up the tradelane and the hacker had retreated to the badlands. Upon approaching the tridente, i saw it was none other than Marcus_Fenix. He and Cpt_Bob engaged in a gunboat duel of sorts, with The Wolfcrest and myself as backup, should Cpt_Bob fall. It didnt take long and Cpt_Bob prevailed and we returned to Manhattan space. I ended my patrol there, thinking i had seen enough for one night.
I came across Captain Joe Smith at fort bush, and me and him decided to go on a patrol to California. This Patrol was surprisingly quiet, until we had a call from out LCBO friends stating that there was a slave trader heading to Cortez. sadly we just missed him. At which point we decided to head on for a bit longer. To which we had a very quiet patrol and managed to catch up on some political history.
Report 3:
As i was returning to New york a few minutes later. My LCBO friend tipped me off about smugglers and pirates in New York. I made my way towards Fort Bush and we were able to trap to smugglers. Dealer.Steve and Dealer.Jerry. both carry synthetic marijuana. Dealer.Jerry was then scanned by the Liberty navy (NPCS) who then saw fit to destroy him. Dealer.Steve then ran. He ran from Fort Bush to the restricted system. Realized he didn't want to go in there came out, where we were waiting for him, and destroyed him.
We then got the call from Fellow LPI officer J.D.Masket who was havinga confrontation wtih a Mr.Courtney. We quickly dealt with him before he could hire a merc to destroy Masket. Masket also said i could count this as a patrol under a officer.
I then with my LCBO friends headed off to help our LSF counter parts who were having a spot-of trouble with 2 Gunboats and a bomber under the plane on the edge of the badlands. One gunboat was dispatched as i arrived and i latched onto the Bomber. The other gnboat was quickly destroyed leaving the Bomber. Which had turned into a one on one with me. Everyone then decided to disengage and left me to get out of there by myself.
I continued my patrol to find an outcast ship who i followed as far as the Badlands. at which point i gained another distress call for help at the California Jump gate. I asked wolfcrest to join me, and we got under way. And that's when we were faced with the Indians and The_Joker. Words were passed. And then a firefight ensued. Wolfcrest was destroyed quickly and so was LNS-Vortex. I then had to wait 35 mins of intense fighting before back up came. I lasted another 10 minutes before The_Joker manged to get a direct hit.
I later heard over the comms that the Liberty Navy was saved by a KoF bomber.
I set up in Texas and was watching ships, as a Camara with Rhienland turrets showed up. Cpt._Malcolm_Reynolds. I asked him to kindly remove them and he did. No fuss. After my 4 hour period was up i returned to New York to find a Bretonia transport hauling Blood Diamonds. I told Ze_Farsha the law, she ran a bit and stalled and talks went on for 10 minutes, finally she dropped the cargo and i fined her 1 million.
I got a call from a [KoF]Gruzzy who left Texas to go to New York, who told me there is a pirate transport pirating at the California gate. I wanted to see this. Sadly I have no evidence of him pirating, but he was trying to get Gruzzy to pay a few moments before i came through the system. I asked Franseca to pay a fine of 200k and move on out of Liberty. To which she refused. Gruzzy and I then took down her Hull until she shouted stop. I then increased her fine to 600k and she left. I then escorted a Universal ship to its destination to make sure there was no problems. I then got a another call that there was a battleship at The gate where i had just been. I turned up to see a Order Battle ship stating that he was checking on out Government because it is in bad shape.
The highlight of my patrol was the return where i was greeted by the Universal ship who i then struck a deal with. On board his ship he has a doughnut shop. In exchange for the odd escort when i a off duty all LPI can have doughnuts from him at any point.
This operation took place in cooperation with the Navy, LSF, and Xenos. The plan was to wait in a low orbit of Houston and wait for our signal from the Xenos, who were luring the target battleship into a vulnerable position.
Xenos gave us the word "YEEHAW!" and we scrambled all ships into space. The battleship was caught out in the open completely alone against us all, and fell very very quickly.

Location: Fort Bush, New York
After Action Report:
Well, seems my last weeks' reports have kind of gone lost during my previous attempts...pity. Well, I'll summarize the events of the most noteable patrols.
10.07.818 - During a regular patrol a lone Rheinland Battleship is discovered by LSF agent Adrienne Perry in Texas. I received a call for assistance and quickly returned to Fort Bush to hop into my Roc Bomber. The Battleship, designation "Jarek_RM" was daring enough to misuse the Houston - New York Gate lane and dared jumping into New York. I have no idea how the vessel managed to override security regulations, especially as I was on site and had locked the gate down. Well, by now we also had the LNS-Tumwater, a Liberty dreadnought informed that was moored at Norfolk shipyard. It aborted the routine maintenance as quickly as possible and headed over to us, setting up position in New York to intercept the battleship. In the meantime, we still weren't able to muster more forces, so it was the Tumwater, Agent Perry's Upholder and my Roc. The Rheinland battleship didn't waste many words and quickly opened fire on the Tumwater, which used thrust to keep a safe distance while we engaged with our bombers, desperately trying to avoid the Solaris turrets. After we had the shield downed the first time, the Maelstrom, a unique vessel, using many armor elements known to be rogue-ish, but on a ship that was big enough to be regarded a destroyer. The Maelstrom joined forces with us and with its impressive weaponry (see background) we disposed of the battleship in a matter of three minutes. No losses on our side.
12.07.818 - Just after I started my patrol, my comms noted an offer about "liquid cardamine" being made on system-wide communication channels. In New York. I quickly joined communications with the few secondary law enforcers avaible to get a possible fix on his location, but no intel was avaible. So I proposed myself as a potential buyer, tricking him into believing I'd buy it to make sure it doesn't reach "the streets". On this, he revealed his location to me and demanded to meet there. Location was the small dark matter cloud in the Pittsburgh Debris field that is known to be a den of rogues. I managed to get him to agree to move the rendezvous 15k closer to Pittsburgh while I coordinated several other law enforcers to remain as stealthy backup, some at Pittsburgh, others heading in from Norfolk and Fort Bush, so we could make sure he doesn't escape. Upon moving to the rendezvous, I quickly managed to scan his vessel, a Pelican class transport and verified the contraband. Sadly, at this point one of the secondary officers made a dumb mistake and moved too close, giving away the farce. He charged cruise engines at this point and tried to return to the nebulae, but I managed to disrupt him several times. We still might have had a chance, but just at that moment the [HF] Incursus was reported 10k from Fort Bush, and half our wing broke off to try to intercept it. Sadly, the Incursus apparently had the same destination as the smuggler so I aborted pursuit soon and returned to the safety of Fort Bush. A real odd "luck" the Incursus showed up just at that time, at that place, heading to the same location, right? Perhaps there's something sinister going in between these two parties? A real pity though we didn't manage to nail this smuggler down. Especially after all the work on that setup, which took over one hour. From now on I'll be sure to only work with primaries and selected, trusted secondaries on such "complex" missions.
We were all lined up for a large battle at Norfolk shipyard. Three members of the LPI SWAT team including myself were with a few Navy and LSF personell. 3 bombers, several fighters and one cruiser were on our side. They had 4 gunboats in total, and 3 fighters.
The fighting began and we picked off the gunboats one by one, when about three of them went down they all started to run. I managed to nail one of the fighters with a SNAC. At one point during the fight an Aunt billy showed up and began assisting the pirates, but could not turn the tide in their favor. Zero LPI Casualties in this engagement.
Hello chief. This communication is in reference to the SWAT team. I am submitting my official request to join the swat team. Whether i am assigned to The fighter or bomber wing ill leave to you. Please place me where there is a need for pilots.
